We stayed at this Riad on 6th, 7th sept 2012 for the end of our stay in Essaouira. The owner tx me on the morning we were due, to ask us if we needed picking up, but we declined as we were all ready in the town and knew our way around. [nice gesture]. Very friendly greeting on arrival, with mint tea, made by the housekeeper, whilst waiting for the owner. A lovely lady, who speaks fluent English. She showed us round the Riad [her home as well] and explained to us about meals we could order ect. We booked a triple room with en- suite bathroom on the first floor, the only other en-suite is a double on the same floor. It was an adequate size and very clean, fine for two nights. We could use the kitchen facilities and big fridge to keep our drinks cool [a must]. On the first day we decided to have dinner at the Riad, made to order by the housekeeper. She cooks it at her own home and brings it to the Riad for the time stated [excellent]. We had a lemon chicken tagine for 3 and a chicken pastilla for 2 [they are huge] more than enough for 3. It was followed by mint tea, coffee and moroccan pastries and fruit [Beautiful]. It was served by the housekeeper herself, you cannot beat service like that! It made us feel quite pampered and special and very homely. On the terrace [quite a hike up stairs, but all riads are] there is plenty of room for sunbathing and sitting haviing a drink, sunbeds, chairs and tables, parasols ect. There are great views as well. On the day we were leaving, it was my son's 21st birthday, and they made us a special breakfast. It was a lovely touch for the end of our stay. I did'nt want to leave but we had 4 days left in Marrakesh to celebrate his Birthday. I would like to thank them for there friendliness and a wonderful stay.Carole.

Room Tip: 2 rooms on the first floor, both with en-suite.

We stayed here during our first visit to Essaouira and couldnt have been happier with our choice. Our decision to stay here was based mostly on the great reviews we had read about the fantastic hosts and we are pleased to say that Georges you did not disappoint us.

The room was lovely, very clean with a huge bed and we were served a fantastic breakfast on the balcony. Our hosts were so kind and helpful and were really forthcoming with all the local info we needed.

Thank you for making us feel so welcome and we look forward to staying with you again.

Our room was very dark and small. The windows open only to a noisy atrium where people smoke and chat - which means that it was impossible to get fresh air into the room. The bathroom was dark and small as well and not very clean. Breakfast was ok. However, we had a working heating and the staff was nice and helpful.

My wife and stayed at the Dar Latigeo on the first night of our arrival in Essaouira. We had reservations to stay at another riad for the rest of our visit, but we needed a place for that first night and went to the Dar Latigeo with friends we met on the bus who had reservations for that place.

Crystel, our hostess proved to be one of the most hospitable people we met in Morocco. She gave us lots of helpful advice that greatly enhanced our visit, and she continued to extend hospitality after we moved to our other quarters. These included free tea and pastries when we visited our friends from the bus and an invitation to visit her and drink tea or coffee when I ran into her on the street.

We stayed in the one room that had a private bath. Not only did it have the attached bath, but it was on the first floor, so we didn't need to haul our luggage up too far. The room was quite functional and spacious enough (a bit narrow but long), and the bathroom had a small tub in which I enjoyed a soak.

We also dined at the Dar one night and enjoyed a wonder meal that Katije, prepared for us.

We spent four nights at Dar Latigeo. The Guesthouse is situated in the middle of the the old city of Essauoira. Look for the Bob Marley music shop and you will find the place at the very end of the back alley. The place is owned by a frenchmen M. George Vincent. M. Vincent runs the place with his Moroccan wife and they were all very helpful.

The first thing that hits you is the smell of moist. The hosts are very open about that the building is suffering of moisture problems. We made our booking through booking.com. There seems to be a fix price agreement between the online site and the guesthouse, which means that you might get a higher price if you just come in from the street.

The was on the second floor and had it's own bathroom. The room was clean and

Otherwise - the coffee and the breakfast was the best in Morrocco. George Vincents good advice about good restaurants - and the smile you got everymorning just made the stay even better.

Room Tip: Book in advance and do be specific about your needs.

We spend at Dar Latiego only one night but Monsieur Jorge and his family (the owners) made our stay wonderful. His hospitality and great sense of humor created very warm memories of our stay here. The Riad itself is very stylish, clean and easy to find (we found it within 10 minutes of our arrival to medina). Thank you once again Monsieur Jorge!Olga & Leonyd Russia, Krasnodar
